The U.N.’s special envoy for Syria said Saturday that the latest round of talks between the country’s opposing parties took place in a “respectful” tone and they are keen to meet again, but no agenda or date has been set for the next session. “People were listening to each other,” Geir Pedersen told reporters in Geneva. “Obviously there are still very strong disagreements,” Pedersen acknowledged, but the two co-chairs of the meeting had both said there were areas of common ground that could be built on.
